"Hatsu" Hits the road
« on: May 26, 2016, 08:36:22 AM »
6 Months of engine and carb rebuild, frame painting, much removal of gunk, cleaning, polishing and an unrepeatable spares bill and Hatsu hits the road complete with freshly issued age related plate

Why Hatsu you may ask - it's a Japanese girls's name that means "first born" as it's a K0 - clever eh 

So it's Hatsu the Honda from now on

I love that root beer color. I'm glad to see this bike on it's feet, I was afraid this would be a thread about a bike being crashed.
